Hornby R40120 LNWR 6 Wheel Coach 3rd Class With Fitted Lights 1523

The Hornby R40119 OO Gauge 1st Class six wheeled coach in pristine LNWR livery is a representation of the many which served on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in the late 19th and early 20th century.

The model also features Hornby's new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which would increase rolling resistance.

Small coaches such as this six wheeled coach proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines. This LNWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting. This model also features our new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which would increase rolling resistance.

This model measures 160mm (length) and is decorated in LNWR Red livery.
